3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

3.1 Our environmental care

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to

the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic

appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on

the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its working life, must be

collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the

product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective

collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the

retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.

Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the

decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible

disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment

and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the

appliance consists. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the

application of administrative sanctions.

The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be

considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with

current European directives.

3.2 Your environmental care

Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore

compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the

packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and

disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It

can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic

bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.

Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the

collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables

intelligent recovery of valuable materials.

Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave

6. USING THE COOKING HOB

6.1 General warnings and advice

Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are

correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes 1

in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs 3 and thermocouples 2.

6.2 Lighting the hob burners

All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the

front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The

appliance is equipped with an electronic lighter. Simply press the knob and turn

it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. If the

burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to “0” and wait 60

seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a

few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when

the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up

sufficiently.

Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for

longer.

If the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting

off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the

OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

Instructions for the user

67

6.3 Practical hints for using the hob burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption:

use pans with lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that

the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see

paragraph “6.4 Cookware diameters”). Once the contents

come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure

that the liquid does not boil over.

If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob. To prevent

burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed

inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms.

If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1

minute before trying to re-light the burner.

Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if

overheated.

7. USING THE OVEN

7.1 Before using the appliance

• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping

pans and the cooking compartment.

• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance,

including accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the

base cover.

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the

oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE”.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove

any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

7.2 Cooling system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as

soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that

exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of

time even after the appliance has been turned off.

7.3 Storage compartment

The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker, underneath the ovens.

To open it, pull on the bottom of the door.

It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be

used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc.

Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The

temperatures inside it may be very high.

7.4 Internal oven lights

The oven lights switch on by selecting any function.

Instructions for the user

70

7.5 General warnings and advice for use

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The

dissipation of heat may cause hazards.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil

and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel

coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere

with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

For the best cooking results, we recommend

placing cookware in the centre of the rack.

To prevent any steam in the oven from causing

problems, open the door in two stages: keep it

half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and

then open it fully. If you need to access the

food, always leave the door open for as short a

time as possible to prevent the temperature in

the oven from falling and ruining the food.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal

glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form

on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple

of times while cooking.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove

any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
